Chopard Press Release
The New Elton John Watch Collection
Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele and Sir Elton John met at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. Since then, Chopard has been a strong supporter of the Elton John Aids Foundation and over the years their mutual respect has developed into a genuine friendship.
To mark Chopard’s 10 years of support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele has designed a new watch collection in collaboration with Sir Elton John himself. With its large diameter, imposing stature, precious stones and rose gold case, the new Elton John chronograph is entirely on trend and combines all the qualities of a classic model. A testament to their friendship, it reflects the artist’s extravagant personality as well as his tremendous generosity.
The new Elton John Watch Collection will be unveiled in Moscow, on December 7th. The launch will be celebrated by a unique and exceptional private concert given by Sir Elton John.
“It’s wonderful to be producing another Chopard watch edition with a royalty from each sale going to support the work of the Elton John AIDS Foundation”, commented Sir Elton John.

Hi Kong,
Hmmmm, interesting collaboration. I've always wonder how much selling power a celebrity carries when selling something like this? Of course, ten years with Chopard? Something must be going right. What I really want to know is... what is he wearing under h...
